Urgency: Context · Evidence: Attributed claim
Dhi Qar Agriculture Director Awad Khalaf told Shafaq News that surveys cover 12,600 Iraqi dunams intended for 42,000 residential plots under the national Watan housing initiative. He said maps had been submitted to Baghdad for further approvals. This is a preparatory milestone, not evidence that plots or homes have been delivered.
